Gears of War 3 – Is a upcoming third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Studios exclusively for the Xbox 360.

The team is at full speed, optimizing code specifically for the SPUs,” Naughty Dog co-president (and former technical director) Christophe Balestra told Edge. As a result, the game will blur the line between game and reality. Real physics and environment deformation are key in creating a realistic playing experiences.

Have you made the jump to 3D?

While I am not a fan of wearing the shades, 3D tech is entertaining and absolutely adds immersion to games and movies alike. The support for this technology is growing within the gaming industry. More and more games are touting 3D capable.

Is this is a big selling point yet? I feel we still have some time till it really makes a strong impact on sales. Nearly everyone has a HD television in house now but as far as 3D units go, it’s few and far between. But the numbers never the less are growing and the price is dropping on this new technology.

I’ve come close to biting the bullet on one myself numerous times. My plan however is to wait until glasses aren’t needed but with such huge hits around the corner such as Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, Halo: CE and Resistance 3 all supporting action in 3D…it may be difficult.

I’d love to hear some feedback from gamers out there that have these units and can elaborate on how much it truly adds to the experience and if it’s truly worth the admission.
